Forums IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ PhotoReading, Memory Optimizer Reading Online Materials

I spend a lot of time reading information on a monitor or computer laptop. I would like to know, what is the best way to enable rapidly reading this information and gain all of the information that I need. I have used some of the same techniques for gaining knowledge as I would in Super Reading and Dipping and Rapid Reading but again, I am missing valuable facts. I have tried to use these techniques with some super reading test and comprehension and I have been doing pretty poorly. (In some cases, only 40%) I would like to increase my retention of this information not just in short-term memory but in long-term where I can rely on this information weeks, months or even years from now. How is the best way to do this and achieve amazing results?

Amazing results? One step at a time.

You really need to PhotoRead and fully activate several books as a beginner, so you "hard wire" the system into your brain, so it becomes second-nature. The more books you manually activate, the more experience you have with probing your mind with questions and becoming aware of how your inner mind communicates to you at a conscious level, the more confident and proficient you become.

And, this is exactly how spontaneous activation occurs. On Pete's infomercials, he PhotoReads at phenomonal speeds, then when the announcer asks Pete questions about the book, his inner mind responds with images, pictures, and information at a conscious level.

Interesting enough, this was already understood. I appreciate your response though but I was asking how might someone best view a computer monitor to begin the PhotoReading. I believe that asking this question now may not give me immediate results but it can assist me in "practicing" with online and offline materials. I am following the course and sticking to what is being taught but I also like to think about alternative methods.

To your point, I began to practice the techniques on reading from a computer monitor discussed in the PhotoReading book even before I "knew" exactly how to do this. As I was activating that book again last night I realized that I had the answer within but I consiously realized from where.

Okay. If I understand you correctly, you would do the PhotoReading step the same, either with a blip page or transparent X from corner to corner of the outside frame around the computer screen. Either click thru a screenful per second, or scroll right through the whole piece in Photofocus. Use the "4-3-2-1" chant, and closing affirmations.

Then, activate it by building comprehension in layers, from whole-to-parts. Remember to start with some mind probing questions with the trigger words from Previewing.

I've been trying to Photoread online as well and am not sure on whether my eyes are diverging properly. When reading a book, the blip page works nicely in letting you know if you have the right focus.(Should one always be looking for this or will you develop some other automatic skill in the future?) But, when reading online, I don't see the blip, I'm assuming because there isn't a line through the middle of the screen that can diverge... Is there a way that one can clearly know that they have attained the proper Photofocus while looking at a computer monitor?? Thanks, chad the rad dad :^P

I'd use the transparent X from corner to corner technique and give your awareness to the outside frame around your computer screen while flipping or clicking through. Use the "4-3-2-1" chant just the same, and closing affirmations.
